GOP Suffering From Dem's 'Agenda Mongering' (alternative title: 'Indifference and dithering in D.C.')
Topics: Political News and commentaries..."you only have to read a list of unpleasant symptoms to begin to suffer from them. It's the reverse placebo effect.
Hugh Hewitt says that it is hard to see how the GOP is not like the Titanic, except it is aiming for the iceberg.
Majority Leader Frist and certainly the House leadership have not managed to set up the kind of confrontations that attract the attention of the American people and clearly delineate the parties. There is a big difference here, and yet I think Republicans have McClellan's disease. They don't much care for face-to-face confrontation, for the kind of political conversation and debate that inspires Americans to make choices rather than to stay home in November. Right now I think they're leaning towards staying home.Perhaps the solution has much to do with reversing the problem - failure to engage for so long and over so many issues, that they now suffer the effects of "agenda-mongering".
The Republicans have sat back and allowed the Democrats to televise their propaganda and spew their agenda so long without being called on it, that the Republicans in D.C. now suffer the same type of effects that one sees in the reverse-placebo effect. If they want their mojo back and working for them, they've got to separate themselves from the Dems (who have convinced the Republicans that they have to think like Dems - as in the case of immigration reform), and engage engage engage in their own agenda!
Otherwise, look to see Republican voters stay home in November - and subsequent disaster to the security of the country. Ponder the idea of the likes of Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Al Gore, etc., etc , etc., leading our nation against Islamofascism and Iranian nukes.
